On this week’s episode of WeeklyTrek — TrekCore’s news podcast — host Alex Perry is joined by Ship Full of Jerks co-host Ryan Thomas Riddle to discuss all the latest Star Trek news.
This week, Alex and his guest discuss the following stories from TrekCore and around the web:
- TrekCore: Paul Giamatti Joins STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY as Season 1’s Recurring Villain (10:53)

In addition, stick around to hear Ryan’s hopes that the rest of the cast of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy continues to forge the path of diversity and representation set by Star Trek: Discovery — particularly as it relates to queer representation — and Alex’s response to Star Trek fans who think that the franchise doesn’t have “villains.”
